Except you become as a little child
Until Christians everywhere grasp this concept I doubt they will understand the faith message.
Christians are still separated by doctrine that they believe makes them right and the other wrong.
In the early church people didn't get it.
Let us look in the day in the life of a child. In some cases and in many ways lets practice life as a
child. A small child's mind is not cluttered with a lot of philosophy.
For just a moment let us let go of everything in our life that encumbers us and become a child.
Lets look at this day as a child.
A child wakes up and after breakfast he or she is looking forward to a day of ball or marbles with the neighborhood kids they live the day without a care in the world.
Now wait just one minute you will say we have to go to work and raise our kids.Yes I know. Lets get this cleared up right now of course we have a life to live in this world and we of course can't help this. I am talking about the spirit man. Christ said put all your cares on him for he cares for you. When a child wakes up it's today now do you get, “today.”
Christ said sufficient is the evil of this day thereof.
I do not believe our Father in heaven is happy with the Christian that puts his belief system on other
Christians. Paul had the hardest time with the early church over circumcision because the word of God says you were to do this through out your generations. Come on now lets be fair if you were a Jew and all your life this was one of the main things in your religion you would have made the same mistake.
We are divided over once saved always saved,speaking in tongues, keeping the Sabbath vs the first day of the week,catholic, baptist etc. Are we really any different then they were back then of course we aren't
The spirit of the Pharisee lives on among us today. Christ said if your life does not exceed the Pharisee you will in nowise enter into the kingdom.
Just as circumcision we know is of the heart to us little children in Christ so is every “through out your generations.”
All the feast and fast are no longer days months and years but new ways of life in the spirit.
Was the Sabbath done away? No! It is not a day but a way of life “remember the Sabbath and keep it holy” in Christ we have entered a spirit rest. Christ said come unto me all that are burdened and heavy laden I will give you rest. So the real rest and holiness is found in Christ not the keeping of the law and all it's precept but as a child keeps the day let us also live.
If you ask a child his name he will tell you but in reality it means little to them.
Christ is in us and we are in him. So is every feast and fast. “Daily.”
Please grasp this.
Christ is our passover daily.
Christ is our atonement and sits at the right hand of the Father continually interceding for us.
Christ tabernacles with us continually through the Holy Spirit. He is our feast of Tabernacles.
He is our guaranteed resurrection as he is for the whole world.
In Christ we lack nothing. Praise God for the gift of the death burial and resurrection of his our messiah
Christ Jesus.
Please grasp this and get on with your lives. As Christ told the women at the well “the Father is seeking those that will worship him in truth and spirit.
All the time,daily.
Let us become as a little Child and walk in faith.
